This Day in History: Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto was published on this day in 1848. As Paul Johnson wrote: "Marx was an academic; or rather, and worse, he was a failed academic." He railed against Capitalists exploiting their workers, but at the same time he had a lifelong hard-working maid that he never paid. He was a parasite all his life, sponging off his Capitalist cohort, Freidrich Engels. He had 7 children, 4 of whom died because of the poverty Marx made them endure. Two of his daughters who made it to later life (Laura and Eleanor) committed suicide. His Mother summed up his pathetic life with the following words: "I wish Karl would start accumulating capital instead of just writing about it."
Under Marxism, more than one hundred million people have died, either from being murdered or from starvation.
